Hi guys

this is strange I cannot get rid of Spec based ui instances. I tried many

LoggerUI allInstances do: [ :each | SystemAnnouncer uniqueInstance unsubscribe: each ]

LoggerUI allInstances do: #delete.

Smalltalk garbageCollect

Nothing changes. Each time I create and close it does not get garbage collected. I remove all the announcement registration from my code but nothing changes.

That's why it is preferable to always use weak subscriptions: announcer weak on: Foo send: #bar to: theGuyWhoWillBeHeldWeakly then: 1. you don't have to unsubscribe 2. even if you still have memory leaks, you can exclude announcer from equation
